brought up from Brighton, the litigants,
good Saintess and an elder in Israel,
having got into an alteration over Il
piece of land. The sister charged the
pious brother with having punched her
head for her and shot at her yellow dog.
The p. b. alleged that the aforesaid
Saintess went for him in great shape with
dish towel, with which she blacked his
eve, bloodied his nasal protuberance and
otherwise disfgured him, so that his
family failed to recognize him. Judgment
IN the case was not given when THE
DEMOCRAT went to press.
The DEMOCRAT is under obligations to
the publishers of "Memoirs OF NV Life"
by John Charles Fremont; Belford,
Clarke & Co., Chicago and New York,
for all the numbers Except the first
comprising the first volume (ten num-
bers) OF the work. The numbers are
profusely illustrated, and the story of
Fremont's explorations is told in so
fascinating manner, that having COM
menced it, the reader will never be salts
fled until he has finished the book. Es- |
pecially to those who have traversed the |
settled portions OF this country over
which Fremont was the pioneer ex-
plorer, the story of his wanderings is |
doubly interesting.
